reboot loop

sledgehkg · 08 Apr 2013

Hi, I'm running win7 64 on a quad core with 8 gig of ram.
on booting my system the windows logo starts to animate, it gets to the point where the four colors are about to join together and then the system reboots. I've run repair, it told me it could not automatically repair startup. i've looked at the error log, it reads as follows:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 0
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 1
Problem Signature 07: BadDriver
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

I've tried sfc /scannow
I've tried rebuilding the mbr and bcd

cannot get in to windows in safe mode.

I've reset the bios to defaults.
I've run a ram test.

anyone any ideas?

Cheers.
